Millionaire Sutro's Literary Taste.

George II. Fitch in the Cosmopolitan.
In his frequent trips to Europe Mr..
Sutro found it a recreation to gather
rare and valuable books and manu-
scripts, and when he retired from
mining these formed the nucleus of a
great library. For the past five years
he has been adding to this library,
until now it numbers between sixty
thousand and seventy thousand vol
umes, many of them unique, and a
large number of Oriental manu-
scripts, including the leather sheets
of Hebraic text from which the in
genious Shappira made up his spu-
rious Book of Deuteronomy. Mr..
Sutro's plan is to establish a free
library in San Francisco that shall be
second to none in the world in the
departments of history and scienee.
In connection with it will be a muse
um for the display of Egyptian and
other curiOsities. Besides four we'll
authenticated mummies of hOar an
tiquity, he has a boat discovered in
an Egyptian tomb, of the time of
Abraham. The California Legisla-
ture, which has just ended its session,
passed a bill giving Mr.. Sutro full
powers to establish this. library, Its
site will probably be on the heights
overlooking the famous Seal Rocks

An emigrant wagon passed through

pleasant call. He was returning to
his old home in Tennessee after a
two years. sojourn in Missouri. He
was of the opinion that Middle Ten

best fruit, the best vegetables, the
best schools and churches, the best

Martyrs to Headache

Seek relief in vain, until they begin Ia

greet the years of suffering they might
have escaped had they tried this remedy
earlier. The trouble was constitutional
not local and, until Ayers Sarsapa-
rilla did its effective work as an
Alternative and Blood Purifier, they were
compelled to suffer.
The wife of Samuel Page, 21 Austin

subject to severe headaches, the result
of stomach and liver disorders. A per-

The Last Week of the Campaign
Nashville Christian Advocate.

Nashville Christian Advocate.
The close of the prohibition CAM
paign in Tennessee is approaching. At
this time the opposition is clearly
beaten in the argument, and we be-
lieve it is also beaten in the vote.
The present state of the case re-
quires the prohibitionists to observe
several points to secure certainly the
victory they have already won.
l. There must be not only no re-
Taxation of effort, but there must be
an acceleration of speed. The enemy
is on the run; now is the time to
pursue him and utterly overcome
him.
3. The work from now until the
day of election is more a matter of
detail-of appeal to individuals-than
of great gatherings and splendid adj
dresses. Let the meetings continue,
but let us understand that work upon
the individual man is more import
ant. Let good men, who love God
and their country, take several days
and 60 through the districts j nwhich
they live and plead with every voter,
face to face, to cast his ballot for the
right. Candidates for Office are will
ing to do this much for love of posi-
ton, surely good men, from nobler
motives, will not do less. The Liqur
Dealers Association has paid agents
going everywhere in the State at
work in this way. Failing to meet
our arguments in public meetings,
they are adopting the methods of "a
still hunt" and are disseminating all
sorts of false statements and decep-
tive arguments. We must overcome
them at this point as we have done
elsewhere. They have in this way
devoted especial attention to the col
ored voters, whom they find it easier
to deceive than voters better inform
ed. BY a recent investigation we
discovered the saloonists had been
telling the negroes that prohibition
meant their reinstatement, and had
also been warning them it was unsafe
to attend prohibition meetings, where
they knew this falsehood
would be exposed. The necessity for
work at this point is obvious.
3. The liquor men know, as we'll as
we, that at this stage of the campaign
they are surely beaten. We may
therefore expect them to resort to
some special trick, or makesome 9TH
er assault directed to turn at the last
moment the tide now setting against
them. Let the prohibitionists keep
a sharp lookout for it, and throttle il
upon its first appearance. 1t may be
an argument, it may be a letter from
some influential politician, or it may
be some flank movement for control.
ing the voters on the day of election.
Whatever it may be let it be detected
and defeated promptly.
4. See to it that in the appointment
of managers of election there is such
a selection of persons as will secure
our cause from defeat by fraud.
). In all that is done, let the anna.
bility and vigor which should charac'
terize the work of Christian men en-.
gagged in a great cause bemaintained
Be wise as serpents and harmless as
doves. May God defend the right.

New Masonic Mutual Benefit Assocfa
 ton of Connecticut.

New Masonic Mutual Benefit Assocfa-
 ton Of Connecticut.
 The work of organization of the Masonic Mutual Benefit association of Connecticut was completed Saturday evening. Officers chosen were: Ward Nichols, president; Hen ry E. Talmadge, vice president; Dwight w. Lewis, secretary; Frank c. Bushnell, treas urer; executive committee, Edward w. Baldwin, John Morse, John A. Brooks, George Bradley (Westville), and Harrison Pendleton, jr. Guilford.
 The report of the committee on bylaws and constitution was accepted, and as soon as the necessary printing is done the organi- zation will be ready for business. A long list of names have been proposed for the charter membership, and the success of the new organization, it is felt, is confidently assured. The original features of the old organization retained, while some very radical changes are made. For instance, the accumulation of reserve fund is forever prohibited, all resources being applied to the payment of death claims and for no other purpose. All expenses are provided for by the annual dues of $1 from each member. II is not intended to antagonize the old compa- ny in any sense, simply perpetuating and preserving the Masonic features and primal principles of all mutual benefit associations. The constitution of the new organization provides for the annual election of a presi- dent, vice president, secretary and treasurer, and executive committee consisting of seven members who, in their collective ca pacity, constitute the board of managers and have supreme control of the affairs of the as sociation during the interval of the annual meetings. It is also provided that, until the membership shall exceed the limit of 5000 each surviving member contributes $1 upon the death of one of their number, every far thing of which is applied to the purpose for which it was intended-the relief of those left behind

THE SCYTHIA NOT A WRECK.

THE ScYTHIA NOT A WRECK. A Thorough Search Made off Scftuate
 Hut No Signs of the Vessel Found
 She Likely Stood out to Sea.
 BOSTON, April 3.-The special train char tered by the local agent of the Cunard line, MT. Maritime, left here at o'clock this morn ing with about thirty reporters aboard to in- vestigate the story of the Scythia disaster. When the train arrived at Scituate it was daylight and the small army of scribes trudged three miles through 8 heavy snow to the shore. The sea was running noun tains high and dashing far up over the cliffs, but no signs of stranded steamer or wreck of any kind could be seen. The party made as thorough investigation as was possible without avail There was surely no wreck The reporters returned to Boston and have since been trying to find how the rumor orig mated. It was believed here by almost every body. The steamer was due yesterday and owing to the interruption of telegraphic communication on account of the storm there was nothing to base denial on. The Gun ard agents think the Seythia's captain held well out to sea and made no endeaVor to reach port in the storm.
 AS result of the reporters investigation as to the origin of the rumor that the Scythia had been wrecked it appeared that there were two reports which tailed but from different sources. The first came from the Cunard dock where the night watchman repeated the story to the police and the other was fur nished by 8 passenger just arriving from Scituate. Whether there was any collusion between the two persons, or for what pur- pose the stories were started, does not as ct appear.

A Field for Yeung savbones.

WASHINGTON, April 3.-There have been ten vacancies in the medical corps of the navy for nearly two years. The surgeon gen. eral has found it difficult to secure suitable physicians to fill the vacancies which have occurred during that time. The officials of the bureau of medicine and surgery say that unless some provision is made by which the inducements to enter the navy will become equal to those offered candidates for appoint inent to the medical corps of the army it will be soon impossible to prevail upon rsputa- ble young physician to accept commission as assistant surgeon in the navy. An exam ination is now in progress before the board of examiners of applicants for appointment
 as assistant surgeon in the navy. Although
 there are ten vacancies only four physicians
 have appeared for examination The medical
 corps declare that the same number of vacan-
 cies in the army would bring hundreds of applications The assistant surgeons of the navy during the first three years of service have only the rank of ensign. In the army the new appointee is commissioned as cap tain and assistant surgeon. He has quarters provided for him and is treated with the ut most consideration. The surgeon general it is understood intends to make an effort to increase the importance of the assistant sur geons that he may obtain recruits of ack- nowledged ability.

 Late in the afternoon he was found in his sent for. Dr. M. c. White was notified. The body was taken to Lewis & Maycock's under taking establishment.

expresses the feeling of many victims Of rheumatism, neuralgia, sciati3a and nervous or sick headache. Having tried numberless so-called remedies and physicians of all schools, without relief, there seems to be no hope Many such have as a last resort tried Athlophoros; and to their surprise and joy have found that it was safe, sure and quick cure. Athlophoros is not an experiment :; thousands have been cured by it's use and they testify as to it's value.

 I would have Athlophoros if I had to pay ten dollars dose for it. It has done what our best physicians, after fourteen years of intense suffering. could not do during that tiue I took every known medicine for neuralgia of the stomach, but found no re- lief at all until I took Athlophoros. The eff feet was magical. All pain disappeared, and my health was so much improved as to cause general comment. I cannot speak too highly of the merits of Athlophoros.

I took the first dose at six in the evening and two more doses during the night The next morning. after three months sickness, went to work, greatly to the astonishment of my many friends, who all thought I would never get around again.
